I would say, no, don't add it as an HTML type. HTML highlighting works OK (not
very well, really) for simple .myt files, but doesn't work at all when using
various common Myghty syntax.
Myghty uses constructs like these:
<% expression %>
<& method call &>
<%python>Python statements</%python>
% Python statement
I would vote for a separate "mode" for .myt files, but I'm not sure enough
people are using Myghty and Wing together to make that worth your while,
although I saw a VIM syntax file on the Myghty site and it looked pretty simple
(it was short anyway).
I'd be interested in porting the VIM version to Wing (at least for my own
personal use), if I knew how to create a mode for Wing. I may do some further
research into this, depending on what I hear here.
